BBC, btw, I find, is one of the most biased sources of news, both on tech and in politics. Because they don't use flashy graphics and they talk about serious world issues doesn't make them more objective. Funnily on their website a lot of it shows in picture
captions.

I'm not sure that I see the problem. The caption reads that the majority of zombied machines are running Windows, which is hardly surprising, but a fact nonetheless.

It is pretty much true, due to the volume (that is, the fact that Windows runs everywhere) and the mistake of everyone running as admin in all contexts. However, all operating systems are open to exploit. I've seen botnets of *nix boxes, and even those
created by amatuers.

If you can't say anything nice, it means you're not a nice person. (Restraining self from telling you off.)

I know I was causing trouble, but it's a fair point - find an american story that most media has seen positively and we'll see what the BBC have to say to reveal bias.

It's either that or we do a lattitudinal study comparing BBC spin with major american / french / other international news outlet's spin of the same stories to reveal any bias, and I don't have a group of media studies Ph.D. students to do the work for me.
(Especially as we'd have to find a set of stories reported in all the media which relate to all the countries in the study so as to be sure it's not just anti-foreigner spin.)

﻿Given that the vast majority of users are windows, its not a fair point that the vast majority of compromised systems are windows, first of all.

Brian, I understand what you're saying, but the comment is the truth. So you cannot really say that it is an 'unfair' point.

Now here's the thing. If the BBC had done this with Linux or Mac platform, then the user base would have been all them like a bad case of hives.

The fact that the platform can actually stand up to criticism, is why it is still top dog. If the response to every minor complaint about it, was to insult and threaten journalists, then it would be languishing in single digit markets, and deservedly so.

It't not really bias, it's fact. You can't call it bias just because you don't like it.

﻿Thanks, let's hope this act of international corporation leads by example to the returning of the Elgin Marbles.

The British Museum don't have a choice about the elgin marbles:

Wikipedia wrote:

a legal position that the museum is banned by charter from returning any part of its collection.[5] The latter was tested in the British High Court in May 2005 in relation to (I need to watch my language)-looted Old Master artworks held
at the museum; it was ruled that these could not be returned.[6] The judge, Sir Andrew Morritt, ruled that the British Museum Act – which protects the collections for posterity – cannot be overridden by a "moral obligation" to return works known to have been
plundered.
